I've been reading more and more in the news about yesterday being a day of service, and a surge of patriotism across America and a continued call for Americans everywhere to get involved in their community and their country.

And I continue to think that Americans who want to answer the call will ask, "where do I go? what can I do?" And the answers are spread across hundreds of websites... so a part of the big answer, is for websites to share that information with each other, so people can spend their time helping, not searching hundreds of websites.

Eventfeed.org isn't website - it's an idea. It's a proposal and a project. An initiative for greater communication and accessibility. If every website that published events marked them up with a little special markup, then pretty soon you could Google for charitable events in your area (as well as other kinds of events).
